You probably want to upgrade to the current versions of Store Locator Plus (which is now on v4.1.31) and if you have ProPack installed version 4.1.03. The zip code issue was fixed in 4..1.29 so that is strange if all your other locations are correctly loading and you have selected the US map. If after upgrading you are still having an issue I will let alert the tech gurus.

I have tried using the Enhanced Search “Search Address Nearest” influence setting to change the map search from “World View” to “Current Map”, but that is not influencing Google enough to take away its bias for making the most popular request for zip 48863 on their USA domain server from being Saudi Arabia.

It looks like I am going to need to add yet another search influence feature based on the goecoding processor at Google to allow for “region bias” which is another setting they allow to be passed in. Watch the blog posts and updates for Enhanced Search for that new setting.

In the meantime if you are primarily/only serving the MI area you could get away with the “append this to addresses” option in Enhanced Search and set that to ” MI USA”. I already tried putting only “USA” in that field and it keeps the search in the USA but then 48863 has several other locations that come up first with Google for “48863 USA”.

I need to figure out some trick to allowing simple zip codes to pull up the proper places WITHOUT messing up general address search OR making the product too USA-centric.

I’m having a similar problem. We are based in South Africa, Johannesburg. At my client’s office, some of them enter in a zip code 2191, for Sandton Johannesburg for example and will get the correct map and locations appearing. And some will enter in the same thing but get a map for Europe.

Is this a browser issue? I’m trying to answer their questions about why the map is not consistent, but am struggling to figure out why they would get a map for Europe and is only some of them not all of them.

The location sensor, if enabled, and cause all kinds of issues with where the map centers.

I am currently testing different iterations of locations, map settings, and Google communications on Safari in an effort to generate consistent results and the BEST results for users. Keep an eye on the News & Info section of the site for product updates that address the issue over the coming weeks.
